Leading Communist Party of Israel activist, MK Aida Touma Sliman (Hadash) on Monday evening, Sep 23, called the deadly Israeli strikes against the people in Lebanon a “massacre.” At least 558 people were killed in extensive Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon from Monday morning, and 1,833 were wounded, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

“The same shocking images we saw at the beginning of the war in Gaza, the same horror, the same blind support. Innocent women, children and elderly people are crushed under the bombings. How much more blood will be spilled until they realize here that war will not bring any security?” she wrote.
Touma-Sliman added that “this war brings only destruction and crimes, not peace or security. Gaza is still suffering under the bombings, and the humanitarian crisis is worsening. There is no safe place, even the evacuees are bombed in their tents, exposed to hunger, disease, and rains. In the occupied West Bank, the settlers attack and lead terror day after day. Did all this bring back the hostages?”
